A Long, Bumpy Caterpillar-Like Wormhole May Connect Two Black Holes

A long, bumpy caterpillar-like wormhole may connect two black holes

For obvious reasons, we do not know what the inside of a black hole looks like. But thanks to theoretical physics, we can ask what the inside should look like if Einstein's theory of gravity and the rules of quantum mechanics are both true. A new study published in the journal Physical Review Letters has done exactly this by concentrating on two black holes that are deeply entangled (linked together by quantum rules).

Lumpy ‘caterpillar wormholes’ may connect entangled black holes

A mathematical model suggests that when a pair of black holes gets quantum entangled, this can give rise to a lumpy space-time tunnel between them

Kerr-newman Black Holes Demonstrate Unitarity Via Entanglement Islands In Reduced Two-Dimensional Field

Scientists demonstrate that black holes, when examined using a new theoretical approach linking gravity and quantum mechanics, resolve a paradox concerning information loss by exhibiting behaviour consistent with the laws of quantum physics and revealing how factors like spin and electrical charge affect the rate at which information escapes.

Uneven 'Caterpillar Wormholes' Could Link Intertwined Black Holes

Sometimes the wormhole is bumpy Shutterstock / Champei What occurs when two black holes share an unbreakable quantum connection? Research indicates this may lead to a textured space-time passage referred to as an “Einstein-Rosen caterpillar.” Albert Einstein’s name links two distinct physical anomalies. The first is the Einstein-Rosen bridge (a wormhole that links distant regions [...] The post Uneven ‘Caterpillar Wormholes’ Could Link Intertwin…

Caterpillar Wormholes: Black Holes Linked by Lumpy Space-Time

They call it the Einstein Rosen caterpillar. It is not smooth, not symmetrical, and not what physicists once imagined a wormhole would look like. When two black holes become quantumly entangled, the link that forms between them is no perfect tunnel through space-time. New calculations show it twists and bulges with energy, like a living […] The post Caterpillar Wormholes: Black Holes Linked by Lumpy Space-Time appeared first on Above The Norm Ne…
